Quietest details

Portuguese translation: os detalhes mais sutis

English to Portuguese translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Architecture / Surface finishing
English term or phrase: Quietest details
É um descritivo sobre um novo tipo de acabamento para superfícies.
Sem muito contexto:

Surface Performance Runs Deep. We design and deliver the quietest details to amplify the overall quality of your product.

Esse 'quietest' teria o sentido de 'slightest' ou "most insignificant" ou "almost invisible"? Ou é outra coisa e eu é que não estou entendendo? Nunca vi "quiet" ser usado dessa forma.

TIA.

Portuguese translation:os detalhes mais sutis
Explanation:
Frankly, it sounds like bad copy and a strange analogy for architecture. Amplifying anything overly quiet can produce unwanted noise. Still, I get what they are doing and think you are on the right track. I would try something to reinforce the meaning of "subtle".
